How does Hop Research Council accept proposals for funding?

The council uses an annual Request for Proposals process for hop research grants. Proposals are solicited each April, reviewed at the Summer Meeting, and then funding decisions are made through that annual cycle.

What kinds of research does Hop Research Council fund?

Its stated focus includes hop research funding, plant pathology, breeding and genetics, agronomy and soil science, entomology, chemistry and brewing, and hop quality. The grant list also shows applied projects such as drip configuration studies, chlorate trials, and organochlorine screening.

Who receives grants from Hop Research Council?

Recent grants went to agricultural research foundations, public universities, a pesticide lab, an agriculture development group, a management firm, and a testing laboratory. The beneficiary profile points to hop growers, commercial hop farms, agricultural researchers, extension services, crop scientists, and field technicians.

What is the typical grant size?

The grant-size distribution is centered in the mid-five figures. The p25 grant size is $33,850, the median is $49,204, and the p75 is $85,336.

Where do most of the grants go?

The council gives most often in Washington, and 25% of its grants go to recipients in Oregon. In the recent grant list, recipients were located in Corvallis, Pullman, Portland, Eltopia, Yakima, Tumwater, Moscow, and West Chester.

About Hop Research Council

Hop Research Council centers its grantmaking on scientific investigation tied to the production of quality hops in the United States, with a clear emphasis on applied research. In the most recent grants, the largest award went to Agricultural Research Foundation in Corvallis, Oregon for Best Practices, followed by a substantial grant to OSU - Agricultural Research F in Corvallis for Hop Related Research. That pattern points to funding that supports practical field knowledge as well as research institutions working on hop production questions. The council’s recent awards also show attention to the technical problems that affect hop growers directly. Grants supported work on hop-related research at Washington State University in Pullman and the University of Idaho in Moscow, along with specialized projects such as organochlorine screening and chlorate trial work. The mix of university-based research, applied crop studies, and contamination testing fits a council that funds research for commercial hop farms, researchers, and extension-oriented partners. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to favor projects that can be used in the field, from breeding and plant pathology to agronomy, entomology, chemistry, and hop quality. Its grantmaking is built around annual research funding rather than broad charitable support.

What Hop Research Council Funds

In plant pathology and agronomic research, Hop Research Council funded Washington State University in Pullman for Hop Related research, reflecting its support for core production science. The council also backed University of Idaho in Moscow for Hop Related Research, showing that hop-focused research is not limited to one institution or one state. The portfolio includes contamination and residue-related work as well. Synergistic Pesticide Lab in Portland received funding for Organochlorine Screening, and Eurofins QTA Inc in West Chester, Ohio received a grant for Validation. Those awards point to monitoring and analytical work alongside field research. Practical crop management is another visible theme. Agrimanagement Inc in Yakima was funded for Drip configuration and crop study, and Agriculture Development Group in Eltopia received support for a Hop Chlorate Trial. Together, these grants show a mix of field trials, crop optimization, and applied testing.
